Chapter 1466: Really Want to Return to a Normal Life

Because she had finished a difficult work task, Xu Xiaoxiao felt completely relaxed.

However, the other colleagues who had been assigned tasks were not as lucky.

Especially one pregnant female colleague.

She was still foolishly holding a paper questionnaire, preparing to go to the park to ask passersby to fill it out.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoxiao could not bear it, so she took the initiative to take those questionnaires from the female colleague.

The female colleague was incredibly grateful, grabbed Xu Xiaoxiao's hand, and said, "Teacher Xu, you are truly too kind. When the baby is born, I'll have them call you godmother!"

Other teachers heard this and joked, "Instead of having her be a godmother, why not introduce a boyfriend to little Xu?"

"Exactly, look at you, you joined the school at the same time as little Xu; you're already pregnant, but little Xu is still single."

The words of others gave the female colleague an idea.

She hurriedly said, "My husband works in IT and knows a few decent men. Later, I'll introduce them to you."

Before Xu Xiaoxiao could respond, an older woman wearing glasses said sarcastically, "Little Xu has very high standards. She hasn't taken a liking to anyone we've introduced to her before. Are you sure those IT guys can catch her eye?"

Uh...

The female colleague's expression was sheepish and a bit awkward.

Because Xu Xiaoxiao always rejected the blind dates arranged by her colleagues, she had already caused some people to be dissatisfied.

Whenever they encountered an opportunity, they would make snide remarks at Xu Xiaoxiao.

Xu Xiaoxiao could also feel the change in these people's emotions toward her.

Before, she couldn't be bothered to respond.

But with the way things were developing now...

If she couldn't control this atmosphere, she feared life in the office would be difficult in the future.

Therefore...

Xu Xiaoxiao looked up and said to the pregnant female colleague, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't know if I will stay in this city to develop in the long run. To avoid wasting anyone's time, I don't want to talk about relationships for now."

Once the female colleague heard that there was a reason for rejecting blind dates, rather than just not giving everyone face, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterward, she earnestly said to Xu Xiaoxiao, "Don't limit yourself with rigid rules. Perhaps once you find someone you like, you'll want to settle down."

"It's not that easy to meet someone you like."

"This matter is easy if you say it's easy, and hard if you say it's hard, but the prerequisite is that you have to get to know them."

As the female colleague spoke, she took out her phone, smiled, opened her Moments, and enthusiastically introduced several of her husband's colleagues.

From the photos, they all looked like elites.

The female colleague also praised them highly.

Finally, she suggested, "Why not chat on the phone first? If you feel like you get along, then meet up. If the chat doesn't go well, then just treat it as meeting an ordinary friend."

After the female colleague finished speaking, she waited for Xu Xiaoxiao's response.

Others were also waiting for Xu Xiaoxiao's response.

Especially that older woman wearing glasses.

If Xu Xiaoxiao agreed, then she would have to ask why she had rejected the people she introduced before!

For a moment, the office was so quiet.

And Xu Xiaoxiao, who was at the center of the silence, felt such a headache!

Just at this moment, the director passed by the door and said casually, "Little Xu, someone is looking for you outside."

Someone looking for her?

Which ancestor is this? They came at such a perfect time!!

Xu Xiaoxiao stood up at lightning speed and used it as an excuse to leave the suffocating office.

Once outside, Xu Xiaoxiao quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

But in the next second, she tensed up again.

And the reason she tensed up was because she discovered that the man standing on the steps ahead... was Jiang Chenghao!!

So the person looking for her was him?

Xu Xiaoxiao walked over hesitantly and gently patted Jiang Chenghao on the shoulder.

The man in front turned his head, and seeing it was Xu Xiaoxiao, he revealed a warm smile.

Behind Jiang Chenghao was a sky as clear as if washed.

Against that azure blue, Jiang Chenghao's smile was as soft as a cloud.

Xu Xiaoxiao's heart also softened like a puff of cloud.

Because of that softness, when Xu Xiaoxiao spoke, she unconsciously lowered her tone: "Looking for me for something?"

Jiang Chenghao nodded slightly and then said, "Didn't you suggest I find something meaningful to do before? I found it, and I wanted to come and hear your advice."

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't expect Jiang Chenghao to act so quickly; while surprised, she signaled for him to say it so she could listen.

"I want to donate computers to some children in mountainous areas and send teachers there to improve local educational resources. Children with excellent grades will receive funding from Jiang Corporation, and in the future, they will even have the opportunity to come to the company to work."

Being able to help those in need while also helping the company attract potential talent, Jiang Chenghao's plan killed two birds with one stone.

He was actually quite satisfied with it.

But when he looked at Xu Xiaoxiao, he discovered that there was no expression on her face.

This made Jiang Chenghao a bit uneasy, and he even asked, "Do you think my arrangement isn't very good?"

"It's very good, a win-win."

"But why don't you have any comments?"

"I think... you seem to have forgotten one thing, a very important thing."

"What?"

"Do you like it yourself?"

Jiang Chenghao didn't even think about it before replying, "Of course I like it."

"But I couldn't feel it in your eyes."

When you truly like something, that sense of urgency will burst forth from your eyes.

But Jiang Chenghao?

He seemed to be just arranging a work plan.

Rigorous, yet devoid of any sense of anticipation.

Having heard Xu Xiaoxiao's assessment, Jiang Chenghao felt a bit bewildered.

And based on Jiang Chenghao's reaction, Xu Xiaoxiao concluded, "At most, you don't find the arrangement you just made repulsive, but I hope you can find something you like and urgently want to complete to do."

Jiang Chenghao silently recited Xu Xiaoxiao's words to himself once.

Afterwards, he sighed softly.

Hearing this sigh, Xu Xiaoxiao asked, "Why are you sighing? Do you think it's very difficult to accomplish?"

Jiang Chenghao shook his head and replied, "I just didn't expect that I wouldn't even be able to do such a simple thing well."

He felt very vexed.

And Xu Xiaoxiao could feel this vexation.

Xu Xiaoxiao felt this was a small matter, so she comforted him, "You're just too impatient; you should think about it more. Besides, this isn't a rigid requirement, so there's no need for you to rush the progress."

"I'm not rushing the progress; I just want to let my life return to normal as soon as possible."

When Jiang Chenghao said these words, his eyes were lowered slightly.

Beneath his calm expression was a faint melancholy.

That melancholy made Xu Xiaoxiao feel heartbroken.

She thought, those who are not favored by love can only heal their wounds alone.

Sigh!

Xu Xiaoxiao was also sighing; she also felt very sorry for Jiang Chenghao.

Because of this heartache, the look in Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes as she watched Jiang Chenghao also became softer, and she even took the initiative to give him examples: "Do you have any hobbies, like playing music, traveling, or painting?"

Speaking of hobbies...

Jiang Chenghao thought for a while and replied, "I like to plant some things; it can make my mood calm down."

"That's a great idea!"

"You mean... let me plant things to pass the time?"
